"If it proves so, then loving goes by haps; Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps."

Beatrice Rossi is the chief of staff to the Vice President of the United States. Benedick Holden is the Press Secretary. Their lives have been chaos ever since that night eight years ago when their elevator make out was interrupted by the news that Pedro Aragones would be the next President of the United States. Things have gone a bit sour since then.

With the wedding of Beatrice's cousin to a rookie speechwriter fast approaching, their friends and family get the idea to create a little chemistry between the two bickering political allies. What else is there to do with a lame duck session than play Cupid?

But the President's brother, John, has slanderous plans of his own. His jealousy will test the lovers and create an unprecedented scandal for America's sweethearts.

Some With Arrows is a modern retelling of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. It is set in the lame duck administration of a fictional president.

(The full version of this book is available on Webnovel!) "Do you see this?" I held up a card between my fingers. Jason looked at the card, then back at me, confusion clear as day in his eyes. "What is this?" "A wild card, obviously," he shrugged, looking like he was about to tell me to get to the point. All in due time. "Obviously," my smile probably looked sarcastic, like I was making fun of him. Jason had no business being fussy with the position he was in. "Take a look at your surroundings, my love. The situation you find yourself in is less than ideal, and I'm the only one who can save you," I was done being the hurt one. The one who was always left behind. "Now tell me again. What is this?" "A wild card." "This is what I am to you right now," I put the card down on the table and slid it towards him. "And whether it wins or loses the game for you is your move." ~°~°~°~°~°~ An accidental marriage. A drunken mistake, or a premeditated plan for revenge? Amaria doesn't know what to make of her new situation, and due to unforeseen circumstances, she is trapped. Forced to accept her fate until the time is right, a typically reserved executive finds herself at a crossroad between following logic, and giving in to her bleeding heart. The man she calls her husband does not make it easy for her either, but however she decides to look at it, she reaches the same conclusion. You can't change a player. As for him? Well, it's up to him to decide what he'll do with this new mess he's stuck in.

"Strengths?" "Umm... moderately talented with a sword, popular. Oh, and beer pong champion." Katniss made a face, "Weaknesses?" "Only one." Theo and Ari have been best friends since they were kids. He's never told her that he wishes they were more. When he's reaped for the 49th Hunger Games, he's forced to admit the feelings to have a chance of going home. To her. But Ari has secrets of her own, and the life of a victor is not what it seems. Especially not when the people of the Capitol see you as their Prince Charming. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ General Information: - I started this before Sunrise on the Reaping and still haven't read it so it's not going to have anything from that book in it even though it's set from the 49th Games onwards. - Updates every Tuesday at 12pm GMT. - Multi-POV - Male OCx Fem OC - Pre-hunger games onwards. - I do not own the Hunger Games.
